Answer:
In calculus, a function is continuous at x = a if - and only if - all three of the following conditions are met:
The function is defined at x = a; that is, f(a) equals a real number.
The limit of the function as x approaches a exists.
The limit of the function as x approaches a is equal to the function value at x = a.
Is f(x) continuous at x = 0?

To check for continuity at x = 0, we check the three conditions:
Is the function defined at x = 0? Yes, f(0) = 2
Does the limit of the function as x approaches 0 exist? Yes
Does the limit of the function as x approaches 0 equal the function value at x = 0? Yes
Since all three conditions are met, f(x) is continuous at x = 0.
